Talking Pixels Open World RPG Builder

A world you walk across, with no loading screens

The Open World RPG Builder is a set of screens inside Godot that edit your game for you. It has everything the Action RPG Builder has — real-time combat, enemy behaviours, skills, levels, events — plus a world grid on top.

Lay regions out side by side and walk off the edge of one into the next. Add quests that track themselves, a day and night clock, and waypoints for fast travel. The sample game, Wayfarer, uses all of it.

Free, for Godot 4.4 or newer. No code needed.

The six screens

• Game — title, hero class, start point, starting level and gold, the starting hour, and how fast time passes.
• Database — hero classes, enemies, skills, items, quests, waypoints, regions and zones.
• Events — dialogue, quests, rewards, waypoints, doors.
• World — lay your regions out side by side.
• Maps — paint regions, place people, enemies and waypoint stones, play-test.
• Art — bring in your own sprites and backdrops.

What you get

• A working sample game, and a full how-to guide as a PDF.
• A region grid with seamless edge-to-edge travel.
• Quests that track themselves — kill, collect, flag and reach objectives, with a live tracker on the HUD.
• A day and night clock, with enemies you can set to appear only after dark.
• Waypoints and fast travel, unlocked by finding them.
• Real-time combat with four enemy behaviours, skills, levels and loot.
• Plain-text data files, so a backup is a copy of one folder.

Getting started

Install Godot 4.4+ (the standard build, not .NET), unzip this, import project.godot, and click the Open World RPG Builder tab at the top of the editor. Press Play from start. About five minutes.

The full guide is here, and it walks you through adding a region and a quest end to end.

Free to use, including in games you sell. The one thing it asks is a line somewhere players can see it — credits screen, store page or About box:
